Nope, no such bonuses in the game. In combat, position rarely affects damage potential, and then only for select units in select ways.

Horsemen do more damage if they can attack across multiple hexes in a straight line. Hayterants have a special ability that functions similarly.

Brontors have a special ability allowing them to attack across any number of hexes so long as it's a straight line.

Assassins have a special ability that can only be used if the target's rear hex is open (not blocked by map edge, another troop, or some obstruction).
